Pocket Counters
Who counters Pocket in Deadlock? Heroes Pocket is strong against and heroes it struggles against, ranked by win rate over recent matches.
Squishy backline heroes like Mina, Sinclair, and Silver hate Pocket getting on top of them. He closes distance in a hurry, drops burst before they can react, and slips out through walls and cover so they never get a clean angle to punish him. The trouble comes against durable, self-sufficient bruisers. Seven, Victor, and Graves can eat his burst, out-trade him in a sustained fight, and shut down his escapes with lockdown or raw pressure. Once his opener is used, he's fragile and wants to disengage. Draft tip: pick Pocket to hunt fragile casters, avoid him into heavy frontline brawlers who won't die to one combo.
Pocket wins 45.82% of matches overall (#33 of 38 heroes) since the Matchmaking Update. Its most favorable matchup is Mirage at 52.34%; Victor is the toughest counter, holding Pocket to 39.10%.
